Here is the recipe that the Year 11 Catering class used to practice making
their Bechamel sauce. The class has been learning about soups and sauces.
Look out for the photos and comments on the Pumpkin Soup they made in their practical class.

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
  2. Place bacon in a large, frypan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain.
  3. In a large pot with boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
